Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘acknowledges the important role that post offices play in local communities, particularly
in rural and deprived urban areas; recognises that the business environment in which Royal Mail and the Post Office network
are operating is undergoing radical change with more and more people choosing new electronic ways to communicate, pay bills
and access government services; applauds the Government’s record of working closely with Royal Mail, Post Office Ltd and sub-postmasters
to help them meet these challenges with an unprecedented investment of more than £2 billion made by the Government in supporting
the network; acknowledges the important role post offices can play in tackling financial exclusion while recognising that
the Government must also take due account of the need to deliver services efficiently; and acknowledges that the Government
is committed to bringing forward proposals to help put Royal Mail and the Post Office network onto a sustainable footing.’.

to exceed its Kyoto target of a 12.5 per cent. cut in 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2008-12 and make further
progress towards the Government’s ambitious target to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent. by 2010; recognises the
vital contribution of the Climate Change Levy, which has already saved 28 million tonnes of carbon emissions and by 2010 will
be reducing carbon emissions by over seven million tonnes per year; congratulates the Government on exceeding its recycling
target supported by the Landfill Tax and Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme and contributing to reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions; commends introduction in the UK of the world’s first international emissions trading scheme capping emissions from
power stations and energy-intensive industries; further welcomes the Government’s proposals for the second phase of the scheme
in the UK; further welcomes the Government’s energy review, which proposes measures to save up to a further 25 million tonnes

by 2050; congratulates the Government on its commitment to delivering a strong economy based on high and stable levels of
